Xanadu

Today is the 24th day of the A to Z April Challenge. Participants in this blog hop post on a letter of the alphabet every day except Sunday. To go to the main web page to visit other players, click HERE.

I chose Fantasy as my theme and today I chose the word Xanadu. Because there is little known about this it will be a short post. Sorry.

Xanadu is a Mandarin word that is pronounced Shandu. It was the summer capital of Kublai Kahn's Yaun empire. It is also associated with fictitious places.

I want to build a story in Xanadu. A paradise land where fairies are real and magic abounds. Have you ever written about a land such as Xanadu? Maybe it has a different name, but has the same amount of wonder in it? It would be a nice place to visit when you want to relax and imagine things with you muse.

I'd Love To Hear From You!

About Me

My passion for writing comes from the world I've experienced. I spent part of my life as a musician, a mother, an RN and finally a writer. I like to go back and explore those worlds to find the richness in each one. I'm always in the process of creating something and this blog is a reflection of that creativity. When looking for a story, I've learned the thing to do is to forget everything except the spectacle of life. "I will live this day to it's fullest. Time is the coin of my life and I choose to spend it wisely." ~Unknown
